Graham Bolding was a long-time member of RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station’s fundraising committee and a regular volunteer at the lifeboat museum. RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station described Graham as someone who supported the station "in countless ways, always quietly and without ever seeking recognition."

The station said: "When the Old Lifeboat Museum closed during the COVID pandemic, Graham and Alan made sure their Tuesday tradition continued.
